CONRAD HERE-MANN, F VfUPPERTAL-ELBERFELD, GERIVIANY, ASSIGNOR TO AMER- ICAN' GLANZSTOFF CORPORATION, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A CGRPOR-ATION OF DELA- WAR-E SPOOLING- IvIACI-IINE Application filed March 4, 1531, Serial No.

The object of this invention is a further perfection of the rayon spinning machine according to application No. 509,511, in which a traveling exchange spinning roller takes up the spun yarn during the exchange of the take-up spools. The example shown in the application noted provides for a travel ng exchange roller on the centrifuge spinning machine and the exchange roller is driven by a specially driven motor.

In the present invention, the working example is for spool spinning machines, in which, however, the traveling exchange roller is not driven by a special motor but by wormed gears or wheels. These driving wormed Wheels are arranged on a shaft traversing the machine lengthwise, and positioned at each spinning spool, so that during the shifting of the carriage carrying the exchange roller, the wormed wheel placed on the shaft of the exchange roller travels from wormed wheel to wormed wheel and is driven at every place where a spool is located. By means of this device, and in contrast to the main patent, a simpler arrangement of the exchange roller is obtained which will also facilitate the shifting of the carriage carrying the exchange spinning roller.

The accompanying drawings show an arrangement as follows:

Figure I is a portion of a spool spinning machine with an exchange roller shown in a side view, and

Figure II is a plan view of Figure I.

The spools d are placed on the spool shaft a, from which spools the thread 6 is placed on the thread guide 0 located on the swinging arm. The spool shaft is driven by cog wheels 6, When exchanging a full spinning spool the thread is placed around the exchange roller 1' which is fixed in a carriage running between the rails g g located above the spinning spool, and is wound up thereupon. The exchange roller 2', carrying shaft Z, has a cog wheel at its end. Above each spinning spool the individual cog wheels -0 are placed on a longitudinally extending shaft n, so that during the shifting of the carriage the cog wheel m catches in the cog wheel 0 which is located at each spinning spool, thus driving the ex- 520,114, and in Germany March 10, 1930.

change roller during the exchange of the spinning spool.

Having now fully set forth my invention, as

required by the patent statutes, what I desire to claim is:

1. In a spooling machine having a plurality of spaced thread receiving spools provided with a common driving means, an exchange roller provided with a cog wheel, and a driving shaft for said exchange roller having secured thereto at spaced intervals a driving gear whereby when said exchange roller is moved into operative position with a full take-up spool the said gears may mesh to drive said exchange spool.

2. In a spooling machine having a plurality of spaced thread receiving spools provided with a common driving means, a pair of tracks running lengthwise of the machine, a carriage running on said tracks and carrying an exchange roller provided with a gear, a drive shaft having secured thereto at spaced intervals a plurality of gears adapted to selectively mesh with said exchange spool gear whereby during the dofling of any of said thread receiving spools said exchange roller may be rotated to receive the thread during the said dofling period.

3. In a spooling machine provided at spaced intervals with thread receiving spool, a shaft extending lengthwise of said machine and gears secured to said shaft opposite each thread receiving spool, and an auxiliary take up spool running in tracks lengthwise of said machine and adapted to be rotated by any of said gears with which it may be in contact during the dofiing of a spool.

45. In a spooling machine provided at spaced intervals with thread receiving spools, a shaft extending lengthwise of said machine, a driving gear secured to said shaft opposite each thread receiving spool, an auxiliary take-up spool running lengthwise of said machine and provided with a gear, and adapted to be rotated by any of said driving gears with which the auxiliary take-up spool gear meshes during the doffing of a thread receiving spool.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature.

CONRAD HERRMANN.
